Newbie here

Hi, I just discovered the Rainmeter. I totally newbie about coding and everything and what I can say zero knowledge about coding stuff. I play around a few skin and some ideas come pop up into my mind if I could design my own skins.

The most important thing, I don't even know anything about code stuff like I said, will it takes so many weeks just to learn the code? or the rainmeter itself come with free and easy or plug and play stuff like that. I do not think so.

I am very sorry to ask very newbie stuff and I should learn or watch the basic tutorial first. Anyone can share from the perspective of newbie experience, I mean like you have zero knowledge maybe kind of hard to learn how to make animation with the code and whatsoever.

I have dual monitor, if anyone have cool stuff about the dual monitor skin should suggest me here. I am thinking some animation stuff that can move from one monitor to another like smooth ones. I am not digging into skins collection on devianart yet or what so ever but the skin i have found right now only good for 1 monitor.

Welcome aboard, bleufar.
This forum is a very good place where you can start learn coding. Feel free to start your own projects and work with them. If you indeed are a complete newbie, you have to follow a long journey, but don't worry: anytime you have questions related to Rainmeter or your codes, you can come and ask. Usually you'll get answers.

or the rainmeter itself come with free and easy or plug and play stuff like that. I do not think so.

No, it doesn't. At least for now you have to write manually your own codes.

The best place to start is the Help:

and especially: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual-beta/getting-started/basic-tutorials/
As I said, feel free to ask, anytime you have questions.

Start lighter. Don't run ahead, make smaller steps at the beginning and start with simple skins: clocks, for example.

Thank you very much Balala. You provide me the most complete guide for making the rainmeter skin. I think a guy with zero knowledge like me need to get my hand dirty. There is not shortcut like some design software, drop and drag.


By the way i am looking forward to see any nice design relate to dual monitor, just want to customize my desktop screen. I mean something like all in one suite.


Thanks again
